DOI: 10.1159/000452788
Abstract: Background: Routine and timely determination of total serum bilirubin (TSB) remains a challenge in many resource-limited countries with substantial burden of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Limited evidence exists on the potential usefulness of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0009922817701170
Abstract: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening newborns ≥35 weeks’ gestation with total serum bilirubin (TSB) or transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) to detect hyperbilirubinemia. Retrospective studies show TcB measurements strongly correlate with TSB; however, few prospective… read more here.

DOI: 10.2174/1573396313666170718145535
Abstract: BACKGROUND Conjunctival icterus is a largely neglected physical sign that may be helpful in identifying neonates with clinically relevant hyperbilirubinemia by practitioners in the hospital and outpatient clinic or parents at home. OBJECTIVE A recent… read more here.
